Three coefficients selection rules

Similar to the ODF for texture, SODF can be subjected to a Fourier analysis by using generalized spherical harmonics. However, there are three important differences. The first is that in place of one distribution (ODF), six SODFs are analyzed simultaneously. The components of the strain, or the stress tensor can be used for analysis in the sample or in the crystal reference system. The second difference concerns the invariance to the crystal and the sample symmetry operations. The ODF is invariant to both crystal and sample symmetry operations. By contrast, the six SODFs in the sample reference system are invariant to the crystal symmetry operations but they transform similarly to Equation (65) if the sample reference system is replaced by an equivalent one. Inversely, the SODFs in the crystal reference system transform like Equation (65) if an equivalent one replaces this system and remain invariant to any rotation of the sample reference system. Consequently, for the spherical harmonics coefficients of the SODF one expects selection rules different from those of the ODF. As the third difference, the average over the crystallites in reflection (83) is structurally different from Equations (5)+ (11). In Equation (83) the products of the SODFs with the ODF are integrated, which, in comparison with Equation (5), entails a supplementary difficulty. 

The absorption coefficient for a multi-phonon combination can be expressed as the product of three terms. The first one is the matrix element of the coupling term between the phonons involved in the process. It is non-zero only for specific phonon combinations determined by selection rules derived from symmetry considerations. The second one describes the temperature... 

Equation (6.1.43) yields the well known selection rules for rotational transitions. For unpolarized light, the transition probability is calculated by taking the average of the transition probabilities for the three light polarization possibilities, p = 0, +1 and —1. To calculate a transition intensity, it is sufficient to evaluate the transition probability for one polarization component (p = 0 is usually most convenient) and one body-fixed /i-component (q = 0 for AQ = 0 parallel transitions, q = +1 or —1 for Aft = +1 perpendicular transitions). The total intensity is obtained by summing over the transition probabilities for all M values, i.e. over squares of 3-j coefficients. Due to the orthogonality relations among the 3-j coefficients,... 

An important consequence of the matrix element theorem concerns the definition of selection rules. An interaction will be forbidden if the corresponding coupling coefficient in the Wigner-Eckart theorem is zero. The conditions that control the zero values of the coupling coefficients are called triangular conditions, since they involve the combination of three irreps. Two kinds of triangular conditions must be taken into account ... 

Using the rules of the propagation of errors [33,34] a measure of the robustness of the partition coefficient (C, ) and the robustness of the selectivity (C ) can be obtained. Below, a derivation of robustness of the partition coefficient P, of a compound i and the selectivity Uij for two compounds i and j with respect to variation in extraction liquid composition is given. The general form of a (Special Cubic) mixture model for three-component mixtures is given by ... 

We can construct the matrix of stoichiometric coefficients and reduce it to a diagonal form to determine the number of independent reactions. However, in this case, we have three reversible reactions, and, since each of the three forward reactions has a species that does not appear in the other two, we have three independent reactions and three dependent reactions. We select the three forward reactions as the set of independent reactions. Hence, the indices of the independent reactions are m = 1, 3, 5, and we describe the reactor operation in terms of their dimensionless extents, Zi, Z3, and Z5. The indices of the dependent reactions are = 2, 4, 6. Since this set of independent reactions consists of chemical reactions whose rate expressions are known, the heuristic rule on selecting independent reactions is satisfied. The stoichiometric coefficients of the selected three independent reactions are... 

Solution The reactor design formulation of these chemical reactions was discussed in Example 4.3. Recall that there are three independent reactions and one dependent reaction, and, following the heuristic rule, we select Reactions 1, 2, and 3 as a set of independent reactions and Reaction 4 is a dependent reaction. Hence, m = 1, 2, 3, k = 4. The stoichiometric coefficients of the independent reactions are...
